This isn't a problem, more like a discovery on my part.

basically: I found out i can wink my headlights.

On a non-cut light harness, i flip the lights up, then double-tap, few second wait then another double-tap, and my left light winks , if i wait few seconds, and double-tap again it winks the right one.

i installed the sleepy-eye (two switch method) and it still does this when i don't got teh sleepy on.

can you guys do this? and what causes this to happen?

ps. i tried this while seeing a girl walk past on the sidewalk and i got her number

yeah mine are the same way wit the wave thing

if you halfway it, the button acts like a momentary-release-switch

for the sleepy i just turn the switches on, and half the headlight button to desired height, rather than flippin the buttons like this:

my wink is kinda different, my highs are messed up so when i turn them one the left one gets grighter as it should and the right just goes out. so i can wink kinda quick if i wanted to lol

On my old S13 every time i pulled the key with the lights on and the turbo timer kicked in it would do a wave type motion for the 30 something secounds then go down fully as if nothing happened.....could never explain it tho....
